The bobcat is a very efficient hunter or predator. They excel at catching birds. They have the ability to spring very quickly. Their diet varies across their range through North America. Here in southern Illinois they eat mice, rats, rabbits, other small mammals, many species of birds, and during the fawning season, June, small young fawn white-tailed deer.
